To all whom it may concern.'

Beit known that we, BERNARD H. ZIEHLER and JAMES C. DAWLEY, citizensV ofy the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio,

new and useful Improvements in yRecording-Locks, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to ing- This invention relates to recording locks such as are sometimes used on stores, warehouses and other buildings Where it is desirable that a record shouldbe kept of the and closing of the doors. The object of this invention is to provide a recording lock in which both the bolt and rsary to operate the knob to make a the recording device will be actuated by a knob or other suitable operating handle, and the operation of this knob vor handle will be controlled' by the key, thereby relieving the key of practically all Work and enabling the heavier work of lthe operation of these parts to be accomplished by a knob or handle of suiiicient size to enable it to be readily grasped and operated with comparatively small effort. f

To this end itis a invention to provide a knob or operating handle whichwill be normally disconnected from the bolt and recording devices and the connection of which with the bolt and recording. devices will be controlled by the key; further, to provide 'such a devioe'in which vthe key will so control the recording mechanism as to cause a record to be made, will identify the person' operating the lock; to so arrange the mechanism that after the key has beenfinserted and the connection yestablished between the yknob and the boltrr and recording mechanism it will be necescomplete record before the key can bewithdrawn.

It is also an object of the invention to provide a recording mechanism which will v yproduce a record showing whether the lock was operated from the inside or the outside of the door and Whether the bolt was moved into its locking position or its idle position. f

i A further object 'of the invention is to provide such a device which will be comparatively simple in its construction and operation and moreover will be positive in they accompanying draw-l further object ofk thev when they, knob is operated, whichr per portion cut away so as devices for the outside knob; Fig. 4 is a de-kr tail view of the actuating devices for the key-identifying type wheel; Fig. 5 is an enlarged detailview of the clutch devices and the operating mechanism for'the key-identif ying device; and Figs."6 and 7 are detail views of the key-actuated devices for the key-identifying device.

In t-hese drawings we have illustrated one embodiment* of our invention and have shown thekk same ascomprising a casing 1, the back wall, 2, of which forms a supporting frame'upon which the greater part of the mechanism is mounted. The lock comprises a bolt 3 which may be ofr any ordi-y nary or suitable construction and 1s here shown as a straight bar slotted to receive sup# porting pins 4 which permit the bolt to move through an opening 5 in that edge of the casing, ladjacent to the 'edge of the door. LThe bolt is' held in either its locking position or its retracted position byy means 4of pawls 6 which engage teeth 7 in the lower The teeth and pawls are edge of the bolt. so arranged that one pawl will hold the bolt against inward movement and the other will. hold it against routward movement. The ybolt may be actuated in any suitable manner.' Preferably it is provided with a projection, such as a pin 8, yarranged to bel engaged by one of twooppositely extending arms 9 and 10. In the present form of the device these arms are intgeraly and are in the form of a plate to provide.y the two arms at the opposite ends of the platey and provide the inner portions of the arms with inclined surfaces.y This ,plate is mounted on and rigidly secured to av shaft 1l by mea-ns of -which the plate may be rocked in either direction. The platefrom which the arms are formed is arranged close to the pawl'G and has projecting from that side thereof adjacent to the pawls pins 12 arranged close to the inner edges of the pawls so that when the plate is operated to move the bolt in one direction one of the having its central up-r pins 12 will actuate that pawl whihlocks the bolt against movement in that direction, thereby releasing the bolt and permitting thefurther movement of the plate to bring the arm 9 into engagement with the pin 8 and thus actuate the bolt.

It will be noted that the arm 9 whenin its normal position is spaced y some distance fromfthe p1'n8 so that thereisarnpletime for the kreleasing of vthe locking" pawl"before the arm engages the pin. Thearm would occupy the same relation to the pin 8 when the bolt has'been 'moved'in'to'its' outer position. The arms 9 and 1 0 also constitute the actuating devices forl therecording mechanism. As herev shown, the recording mechanism comprises aiseries of `type wheels arranged in axial: alinement.7 'lfhe several outermost type wheels, which are indicated at 13, are time and date wheels' which may be adjusted in any suitable manner butl as here shown the time. wheels are 4 connected with a :lock mechanism 14 for positioning-the same. VAnother of the type wheels, that shown at 15, is an identifying type wheel designed to identify the person,z

or 'rather the key, that operates the lock. Thesetting of this type wheel is controlled by the key and will be hereinafter described. The remaining type wheel 16 prints a mark on the record to indicate whether the lockl has been operated tok lock the door. or to unlock the door and the setting of this type Wheel will also be described presently.

The recording device is here shown as comprising type wheels from which a record isfprinted but it will be understood that any suitable devices, from which a record may beta'ke'n, may be substituted .for the'type wheels. 'Arranged on one side of the type 'j wheels is a support for a ribbon 17 and on 'fthe other side is a rewinding roll 18, the ribbon passing overv suitable supports 19 arranged adjacent to the type Wheels and serv- :ing to prevent the ribbon from dragging v across the Surface thereof. Arranged on one side of the type wheels and, in the present instance,fabove the same is a support for a l roll of paper 20 and on the other side of the type wheels is a rewinding roll 21 provided "with feeding mechanism for feeding the thereto.

paper into and out of printing position withl `relation tothe type wheels. As here shown the paper` passes around rollers or guides 22 'arranged adjacent to the type wheels toI in the casing are provided with projections or rollers 26v extendinginto the paths, respectively, of the arms 9'and10`, the outer portions of these arms being curved to form cams which will engage the rollers of the respective platen jarmsand actuate those arms to cause the Vplatens to pass over the type wheels, it be- Ving understood, of course,

that only one platen 1s operated upon each movement of the bolt. The arms or levers 23 and 24 are` preferably acted upon by a spring 27 to hold the same normally in their retracted or inoperative (positions and cams or guides 28 are arrange on opposite sides of the printing points of the type wheels to engage the supports for out of engagement with the paper as soon as they have passed the printing point. The platens may be mounted on the lower ends of the arms in any suitable manner. As here shown they are' journaled onthe ends of short levers 29 which are pi'votally mounted on the lower ends of the arms 23 and 24, respectively, and have their outer ends connected to the respective arms by means of springs 30.

The paper feeding mechanism may be controlled in any suitable manner but as here v shown it is actuated directly from the arms 23 and 24. To this end a ratchet wheel 31 is rigidly secured to the rewinding roll 21 and is adapted to be engaged by either of two pawls 32 or 33. One of these pawls, 32,

vis carried by a lever 34 which is connected with the arm 23, and the other pawl, 33, is carried by a lever 35 which is connected with the armv24. In each instance the, arrangement is such that as the arms 23 and 24 return to their normal will operatively engage the ratchet wheel and actuate the rewinding roller to advance the paper.

The arms 9 and 10 which actuate both the bolt and the recording device are preferably operated by means of knobs, the term knob being here used to include any manually operated handle which may be used for this purpose 'regardless of its shape; As here shown a knob 41 is mounted on the inner end of the shaft 1l which is journaled atively connected with the armsr9 and 10.- This knob being normally connected with the actuating devices it will be apparent that the bolt, and the recording devices,

be operated from the inside of the door at anytime without the useof a key. A second knob 42 is mounted on the outside of the door and has a spindle 43 extending through the platens and raise the latter positions the pawl 1 and, as above stated, is oper-v mayy In the present instance this spindle extends into and is supported by` the inner endof the shaft 11 which' yis hollowed out tof-receive it. rThis telescoping arrangement, however,

yconstitutes only a supportfor thespi'ndle'f or shaft 43 and does notconstitutea connectionbetween these shafts as either is free to rotate relatively of they other,y Consequently, the knob 42 is normally discon- `nected from the boltl and recording devices` and in order thatfthese devices may be oper'- ated from the outside of the door it is necessary that a connection should be established'.

between thisfknob and said devices. In

the present instance this'connection is es? tablished by connecting the shaft 43 with the shaft 11'. To accomplish this a suitable connecting device or f' clutch yis l'providedtogether. Eachfdisk is provided in its edge with a notch 46, the notches being so ranged that when the two shafts are in their normal or idle positions the notches will be iny alinement. A pin 47 is movably supported adjacent to the peripheries of the f disks and is so mountedthat movement may be impartedthereto by the key to move the same intoy the two notches, thus connecting the two disks one to the other and causing the shafts which carry the same to rotate in unison.' In the present'embodiment of the invention this pin is shown as mounted on a bar 48'which is slotted at its upper and lower ends to receive the shaft 43/'and a shaft 49 arranged in alinement with the key barrel, as will 'be hereinafter described, therebyvcausing the-bar to be guided in a substantially vertical line.' The upper end of the bar is-enlarged and has 'a substantially semi-'circular slot 50 formed therein, said slot being of a width sufficient toreceive the pin 47. The pin 47 is supported on the bar 48 by means of collars 51 spaced apart a distance suflicient to receive the bar between them and of a diameter greater4 than the diameter of the slot 50. Thus, the pin will be held in a substantially horizontal position with relation to thepbar 48 but will be permitted to travel along the slot 50. 'When in its normal position the pin rests directly below the notches 46 inthe disks and when vertical movement is imparted to the bar the pin will be carried into-these notches, Vand the movement of the disks, j

when actuated by the knob 42, will carry the pin, while still inthe notches 46, along one arm ofthe kcurved slot 50.y Preferably, the inner end of the pin is guided in its ably one of these flanges arranged adjastantially parallel withy the slot, kthereby 'isupportlngthe inner end of the pin and ree vtaining thesame in the notches 46Ithroughly out its movement.

ends of thelanges'52 extend downwardly' The lower or adjacent and form a slot between them, asshown at 53,'so that when the pin hasbeen returned to its normal position, it, together Awith' the bar 48, may move downward. These downwardly' eXtending portions of the flanges also "serve, to hold thepinagainst lateral d1splace1'nent when in4 its idleposition.

f 1,212,593 L y y As has been stated, the bar 48 is/key-.ac- 'i tu'ateddtof'impart vertical movement tothe pin r47. This may be accomplished. in various ways# In the present vinstance I have' employed akey 54 and'key lbarrel 55 similar to those employed in the well known 'Yalelock Arran-gedflin alinement with the key barrel vis a. rotatable'member which in the present instance, comprises vthe shaft 49. This shaft may besupported in any suitable manner but, in the present instance, it isy hollow at one end and is rotatably mounted 'upon a shaft 56 which carries the keyv identifying type wheel 15 and which ,is `journaled in the frame mem-ber Q. The hollow shaft v 49y has an extension 57 provided with a slot' r58 tokreceive the end of the key 54, which projects beyond the'inner end of the key barrel, so that the shaft 49 will rotate with l the ykey barrel when the key is in'position.

Rigidly secured to the shaft 49 1s a cam 59'which Iis adapted to actuate the bar 48 and to this end is arranged to engage a pin 60 secured to the lower portion of the bar 48 and impart vertical movement to that bar when the key is rotated. Thefcam is so arranged that a partial rotation'of the key will impart the desired movement to the pin 47 'and is provided'with a shoulder to engage the pin 60y and positively limit the forward movement of the key and its associatedparts. Consequently, thefkey atthe end of its turnin movement always occupies the same position. Rigidly secured vto thecam is a ratchet wheel 61 which coperates with `a pawl 62 to hold the ratchet wheel,

and consequently, thefkey barrel and key 54 against rearward movement after its ro- ;-tation has `begun,y The movement ofthe cam andthe ratchet wheel is limited-by.l a pin 63 arranged to engage a shoulderf64 on-the 7 ratchetwheel. The stop 63 -coperates with the'pawl I62;.to hold the ratchetand, conse-- quently, thef'key rigidly in position afterk it'lias rbeen rotated far enough to establish thek connection between the outer` knob 42 and"A the bolt and recording device.` "It is desirable' that the jkey should vbearelieaseal .pins 67 which are carried by the disk 45.

These pins are-so arranged that when the disk is rotated in either direction one of the pins will engage and Aaotuate the lever 65, this engagement taking place during the i last portion of the 'operative movement of thereby making it certain that a have been printed and the bolt completely shifted before the lever is aowtuated. As will be apparent the engagement of the pin with the lever will move the lower end of the lever inward and move the pawl 62 out of engagement with the ratchet wheel 61, thereby releasing the ratchet and, consequently, the key barrel and permitting the sameto return to their normal positions. If desired a spring 68 may be interposed between the ratchet wheel and the frame member 2 to return the ratchet wheel and its cooperating parts to their normal positions.

The key-identifying type wheel 1 5 1s controlled by-the key. Preferably, however, the key merely limits the movement of the type wheel and this movement is imparted to the type wheel by the knob 42. Tothis end the shaft 56 for the type wheel has rigidly secured to the end-thereof, between the hollow shaft 49 and its extension 57, a controlling plate 69 .which has on its inner surface a series of projections or teeth 70, these lteeth being spaced step by, step from the longitudinal edge of the extension or plate 69 and from the outer end o-f that plate and the several teeth being arranged at different radial distances from the axis of the shaft. This controlling plate may be secured to the shaft in any suitable manner, but as here shown it is secured to a disk 71 which is secured to the end of the shaft. This disk is further provided with an arm 7 2 adapted to receive a stud 73 to which are connected two actuating rods 74 which serve to rotate the shaft 59 and, consequently, the type wheel 15. The controlling plate 69 rotates with the shaft 56- and permits this rotation to continue until one of the projections on the plate engages the end of the key, which,

as above explained, is now held againstl movement. y

Each key has its end differently constructed, as by varying the length thereof, so that noV two keys will engage the same projection of the controlling plate. Consequently,

the type wheel 15 will be set in a. different position for each keyy and Aa different indication will be printed on the record for each key when the lock/is operated from the out'- side of the door, butl when the lock is opend of the bar 48 and erated from the inside of the door none of the key identifying marks will appear on the record, they having. all been moved out of printing position by the:A return of the key barrel to its normal position. Thus, the presence or absence of a key-identifying mark will indicate whether thelock was operated from the inside or the outside of the door. Of course, if desired, the identifying type wheel could'be provided with a special mark which would indicate when the lock was operated from the inside but this is not essential. The actuating rods 74 are connected with the shaft 43 so as to cause the type wheel to be moved by the rotation of the shaft 43 in either direction. 4As here shown the shaft 43 has rigidly secured thereto arms 7 5 which project on opposite sides of the shaft and arer provided near their ends with pins 76 and 77. Each of the connecting rods 74 is provided at its upper end with a seat 78 adapted to receive the ad-` to be rotated until one of the stops of the ad Y j justing plate 69 comes yin contact with the key. The pin carried by the other arm 75 will be lifted out of its seat without affecte ing the position of the arm 74. In order that the knob may complete its movement, after the movement of the identifying type wheel has been checked, each rod y74 is pref- Y erablv formed in two parts slidably con#y nected one to the other and having springs 80 interposed between the two parts thereof. The tension of these springs is suffi# cient to cause the movement of the type wheel but they will yield to permit the further movement of the shaft 43 after the movement of the type wheel has ceased.

Means may also be provided for indicating' whether the bolt was moved into its locking position or its retracted position when a given record was made. This may be accomplished by causing a record of one kind to be produced when the bolt is moved in one direction and causing a record of a different kind to be produced when `the bolt is moved in the other direction. To enable the different kindsy of records to be produced we have provided the marking device 16, which may be in the form of a Xed type cari-ier having a single type and which is included in the record only when the bolt is moved in a given direction. In order'that this type may print upon one movement only of the bolt we have made one of the platens, in the present instance 36', shorter mance than the other so that on the outward movement of the bolt, when the platen 36 is operated, norecord will beprinted from the A type on the carrier lb'ut' When the bolt-'is could'be provided with two different marks.

f position.

and could be controlled by the movement of the bolt to shift one orf'the other of the types'into printing'position. vIn this conr nection it `will be noted'that after'the movement ofthe :bolt has beenbegun it mustfbe' ycompleted before vthe/bolt can be movedtin the other direction, thisbeing dueto a full stroke mechanism and consequently,lthe,bolt

, cannot `bepartly operated without making' a record and then returned to its original' The yoperation kofi ythe mechanism vwill be f 'readily understood from the foregoing description andit will krbeapparent that We* havefprovided r`a simple, 4highly `efiicient re# coi-dingl device which will make a'record'of eachy movement of the'bolt of the. lock andiv Will not'only indicate when the boltxvvas op erated but will indicate what key. was used,

whether the llock Was operated from the i'nside of the door4 or the outside of the door and whether thel bolt; was moved into its locking position kor its retracted position when the record Was made. y
